Thanks for your answer. Is it possible to simulate the strange behavior that Cobalt 5S uses with a virtual message type? > [@I am so disappointed in Modal Electronics](https://forum.electra.one/t/i-am-so-disappointed-in-modal-electronics/3786): > > I hade some issues so I wrote an email to the support. Hi First of all, welcome back to the wonderful world of synthesizers [😀] Back in the 80s (when MIDI was new) I wrote my own sequencer and multi editor/library in assembly language for the Atari ST. But what I’ve seen now is completely new to me. I have a problem with my Cobalt5S. When I turn the leftmost knob clockwize, it sends out CC 36 (LFO1 Rate). But if I continue turning, somewhere in the middle it sends out CC 52 (LFO MIDI Sync) on… This is the messages that should be sent when turning a pot clockwize.
